LUDLOW — On Monday afternoon, the Hubbard Me-morial Library parking lot, as well as the local park, became a place for young children to put their imagination and storytell-ing skills to the test through a fantasy-themed, socially distant story-walk.

This event, courtesy of a $900 grant from Ludlow Cul-tural Council, took elements from the story, titled “The Dragon and the Unicorn,” by Lynne Cherry. In the story, Valerio the Dragon and Alleg-ra the Unicorn must find a way to save the majestic trees of the Ardet Forest, which are in dan-ger after King Orlando begins to cut them down to build him-self a shelter.

At the park Monday after-noon, children and their guard-ians walked around the park and stopped at several trees,

Ludlow schools move forward with fall sports

By Elise [email protected]

LUDLOW – Ludlow student athletes will participate in all fall sports this season, includ-ing competitive soccer, volley-ball, gross country and golf, with several changes in place to maintain distance on the field, reduce contact with the ball and limit attendees.

On Sept. 2, the Ludlow School Committee voted to al-low sports to continue, with Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletics Association (MIAA) modifications in place, based on the recommendation of the school’s athletic department. The committee also approved full remote learning students to participate in fall sports if they choose.

LUDLOW – On Friday morning, Sept. 11, the Ludlow Fire and Police departments held their annual 9/11 ceremony at the 9/11 memorial on the out-side of the Public Safety Com-plex.

At the ceremony, firefighters and police officers lined up, fol-lowed by speeches from Police Chief Daniel Valadas, Fire Chief Ryan Pease, Deputy Fire Chief Jeffrey Lavoie, chairman of the Ludlow Board of Selectmen Manny Silva, State Representa-tive Thomas Petrolati (D-Lud-low) and Fire Department Chap-lin Monsignor Homer Gosselin.

A one-minute moment of silence in honor of those who were lost on that day as well as the ceremonial ringing of the bell were also incorporated into the ceremony.

Pease, who is very adamant about having this ceremony take place annually, said it’s an im-portant to honor the innocent civilians, firefighters, police officers, EMTs and other first responders who lost their lives

LUDLOW – Marguerite Surprenant, a longtime resident of Ludlow and an active mem-ber of St. Elizabeth parish and the Dominicans of West Springfield, turned 90 years old on Sept. 5.

Passerby might have seen the “yard card” at her home at 175 Center St. Her family and friends celebrated COVID style with a grand birthday pa-rade.

Since Center Street can be busy with traffic, the birthday queen was seated at the home of her granddaughter, Meagan Goncalves of Ludlow on Sur-prenant’s special day.

About 25 cars participat-

ed, including fat heads of her granddaughter Kimberly Jablonski and family of Ala-bama on the parade’s lead car, with son Patrick McCarthy and family from California in the caboose car.

Surprenant and her family would like to thank everyone who participated and helped make her big day a wonderful celebration including her many cards, signs, balloons and flo-ral displays, family members said.

These competitions are opportunity for students to compete and win thousands of dollars in national awards.

The VFW enacted the Patriot’s Pen competition in 1995 to encourage young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in mod-ern American society by composing a 300- to 400-word patriotic-themed essay.

The theme for the 2020-2021 compe-tition is “What is Patriotism to Me.” The entry deadline is Oct. 31.

Students begin by competing at the local Post level. Post winners advance to District competition with District winners advancing to the state competi-

tion. State first-place winners compete for their share of thousands of dollars in awards, and the national first-place winner is awarded $5,000 and an all-ex-pense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.

High School students entering the Voice of Democracy Competition must write and record a three- to five-minute essay on the selected theme using an au-dio CD or flash drive and present their recording, typed essay and completed en-try form to their local VFW Post by Oct. 31. The 2020-2021 theme is “Is This the Country the Founders Envisioned.”

All state VOD first-place winners re-ceive a four-day trip to Washington, D.C., and the chance to compete for their share of more than $150,000 in scholarships. The first-place winner receives a $30,000 college scholarship.

Senator Lesser and Phil Korman discussing local options for socially distanced fall activities

SPRINGFIELD – Last week, Sena-tor Eric P. Lesser, Co-Chair of the Food Systems Caucus, was joined by Phil Korman, executive director of Commu-nity Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) for a Lunchtime Livestream on strengthening the food economy amidst the pandemic. CISA has been working in the community for the past 25 years to empower farms and combat food inse-curity. The video from the livestream can be accessed on Facebook and Twitter.

Korman spoke about the increased demand from the pandemic on the local food economy and the future of farming. “The local forecast for farming could be great because right now we’re supplying somewhere between 15-20% of the food people eat,” said Korman. “I also feel like, ‘how do we make people remember who was there for them in March, April, and May when we were all so scared, knew so little, stuck inside, didn’t know where to go shopping?’ Who was there for everyone was local farmers. Don’t

forget your local farmer. As things ease up a little bit, I really hope that people continue that commitment whenever they can to buying locally grown food.”

Sen. Lesser and Korman discussed the Massachusetts Food Security Infra-structure Grant Program. The program allows for farms, food producers, retail-

ers, and other food system businesses to submit project proposals for infrastruc-ture upgrades such as refrigerated trucks, greenhouses, meat freezers to help sell fresh, local food directly to members of the community. The two also discussed the origins of the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) that allows for instant re-

bates to farmers while giving members of the community receiving SNAP ben-efits the opportunity to access fresh pro-duce and vegetables. The program has helped over 100,000 people, supports a strong small-scale food economy, and works to close food deserts across the Commonwealth.

Governor Baker proclaims September Emergency Preparedness MonthFRAMINGHAM – Governor Char-

lie Baker has proclaimed September 2020 to be Emergency Preparedness Month in Massachusetts to encourage residents, families, and organizations to prepare for emergencies and disasters. September is also National Preparedness Month.

The Commonwealth will kick-off the annual observance by launching a public Thank You campaign on social media to recognize the tireless efforts of essential workers and organizations that are doing so much to keep the Commonwealth pre-pared and safe during the COVID-19 pan-demic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has under-scored the importance of emergency pre-paredness, and the role we all must play in better preparing our homes, workplac-es and communities for the unexpected,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “It has also highlighted the incredible contributions of so many individuals who have stepped up every day to ensure that essential ser-vices and goods continued to be delivered throughout this public health emergency.”

“Emergency Prepared-ness Month provides us with an opportunity each year to focus on what we can do to make ourselves and our families better pre-pared,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “Especially now, we are thankful for all the tireless efforts of the Commonwealth’s es-sential workers throughout

the COVID-19 pandemic.”Visitors to Mass.Gov/EPmonth can

download a certificate of appreciation to thank an essential worker or organization in their community. After personalizing the certificate, residents are asked to post a picture of the certificate to the social media platform of their choice with the hashtag #EPisEssential.

“Everyone plays an important role in staying prepared, especially in the face of new challenges posed by the pandemic,” said public safety and security secretary Thomas Turco. “I hope these initiatives raise awareness of present-day risks, out-line measures we all should be taking, and facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors. When we embrace pre-paredness, we all have an opportunity to serve our communities.”

“Preparedness takes a whole commu-nity effort and during the COVID-19 pan-demic so many essential workers and orga-nizations across the Commonwealth have worked tirelessly to keep medical services

operating, public safety operations func-tioning, food, medicine and commodities stocked, and other vital needs met during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said MEMA di-rector Samantha Phillips.

During September, MEMA and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will share information on their re-spective social media accounts about emer-gency preparedness topics including emer-gency planning, building an emergency kit, preparing for disasters, youth prepared-ness, ways to get involved in community

preparedness, and more. This emergency preparedness information includes guid-ance about how to prepare for emergencies during the COVID-19 public health emer-gency. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will feature signage along highways to raise awareness of Emergency Preparedness Month.

To say thank you to an essential work-er or organization in the community, and to find resources on how to prepare for emergencies, visit http://www.mass.gov/EPmonth.

By Julie Midura

This column was to be filled with the details of a twelve-day backpacking adventure through the state of Ver-

mont on the Appalachian Trail, but alas, a back injury a few weeks ago forced my husband Tom and I to postpone our trip. My doctor strongly advised against haul-ing a thirty-pound backpack over my shoulders and hiking 14 miles over rough terrain each day, so I have been doing shorter day hikes with a lightweight pack until my back is completely healed.

This is a great time to share some tips on how to avoid, or at the very least, mini-mize hiking injuries.

Tom and I are no strangers to hiking in-juries. We’ve suffered with broken bones, plantar fasciitis, a torn calf muscle, and various knee injuries. To add insult to inju-ry – and I say that in the most literal sense of the word – we’ve also suffered with the general aches and pains of getting older. Regardless of your age, there are several ways to prevent hiking related injuries.

Cross-training and yoga are two great ways to strengthen the body for the rig-ors of hiking. Basically, any type of exer-cise that involves cardio, stretching and/or weight training will benefit you when you hit the trail. Since I’m allergic to any form

OPINION

Winter rye is a great investment

in next year’sgarden

You might think that sowing the

seeds of anything this time of year is a waste. Not so! In fact, planting win-ter rye is a great investment in next year’s garden. Who couldn’t use a bit more organ-ic matter in their soil? I know I could, and incorporating winter rye grass into the garden patch come springtime is a great way to achieve that goal. Winter rye is one of the few winter hardy cover crops.

What exactly is a cover crop? A simplified but accurate definition would be: “a group of like or mixed plants that protect and enrich the soil.” Instead of leaving the ground bar-ren for any length of time, and thereby at risk of erosion and nutrient loss, we plant cover crops. Experienced cover croppers plant them even in the summer months, in any part of the garden not taken up by crops. I have been most successful utilizing them during late fall and winter.

Winter rye (Secale cereale) is my cover crop of choice. It is hardy in our area and can be planted successfully after the garden is cleaned up for the season. As its name would suggest, winter rye is a grain that belongs to a large plant family by the name of Gramineae. Besides other grains such as wheat, barley, and oats, this family includes bamboo and many of our favorite lawn grasses among its members. Many legumes and clovers are also used as cover crops. They have the advantage of “fixing” nitro-gen from the air and returning it to the soil where it can feed other plants. One legume by the name of hairy vetch will successfully overwinter in our climate and is often used as a companion to winter rye. It can’t be sown as late, however, so I stick with my old stand-by.

Winter rye, when sown in the early fall establishes itself quickly. Thick, fibrous roots anchor the soil during the winter and spring months, protecting it from erosion caused by wind and rain. These same roots will hold on to valuable nutrients, preventing them from being leached out of the ground during spring run-off. Besides all of that, the amount of organic matter winter rye adds to the soil when tilled in prior to spring planting is remarkable. At less than $30 per 50 pound bag, it is well worth the monetary invest-ment.

After the harvest what is left of my garden is hauled off to the compost pile. I hoe up the rows a bit and sow the seed by hand, “broad-cast” it if you will, by scattering it in one di-rection, then the other. After all the seed is sown, I cover it by dragging the flat end of a steel rack back and forth in the soil. If rain is not in the forecast, I’ll water every day for a few days in a row. Germination should occur in a week or so but will cease at the first sign of super cold weather.

When the ground begins to thaw, win-ter rye will start growing again. I glory in a green “lawn” in March, even if it is only in my garden. About a month prior to planting other crops I chop down the grass with hedge clippers and turn the plants into soil by hand. For big plots you can enlist the help of a ro-totiller. Here a weed whacker or lawnmower would be put to good use cutting down the grass first. This step prevents tall grass blades from getting caught in the tines of the tiller and will also expedite decomposition of the rye into the soil. It is important to wait un-til decomposition occurs prior to planting

My name is Tim Mullins and I have lived in Ludlow for 55 years. This letter is intended to urge you to vote this Fall for our next State Representative of the 7th Hampden District, James “Chip” Har-rington. I have a long history working with and supporting Chip going all the way back to when he started the Ludlow Youth Football Program in the 1990’s. Chip and I used to announce the Friday night football games for Ludlow High School and watch the kids that benefited from that youth pro-gram. He has always had the best interests of the town and the people of Ludlow in his heart. I have worked on all of his cam-paigns, and know that Chip is one of the

smartest, hardest working, and dedicated individuals I have known. He is a proud family man, former small business own-er and educational advocate. His years of service on the Ludlow School Committee and to public service are exceptional and I am proud to be a supporter and to work on his campaign for State Representative. I don’t see political party when I look at candidates, I look at the person I feel will best represent his constituents and Chip is that candidate. I urge you to get out and vote this Fall, it is the basis of our great Democracy.

Sincerely, Tim Mullins

that day, along with those who continue to suffer from respiratory issues and can-cers as well as everyone who aided in the cleanup and restoration process.

He said it’s important to also honor the soldiers from the United States Armed Forces who have since defended the country following the attack on the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.

“Seeing that it was 19 years ago to-

day.... at some point in time, because of the political climate, people don’t take the time to remember this,” said Pease. “It’s up to us to educate future generations about what happened and why we respect our flag, military and first responders.”

“The goal of Ludlow Athletics is to keep as many of our teams safely back on the field as possible, however, the games may look a little different,” the athletics department said in a statement on the district’s website.

Football, which is considered by the state to be a high-risk sport, will move for-ward with level 1 practice and conditioning on Sept. 18, with competition moved to the floating season.

Athletes in all sports will be required to wear masks. Modifications in sports like soccer require that players remain distanced during the game and players won’t be al-lowed to head the ball, for instance.

“This will not be the typical season,” the athletics department wrote. “The PVIAC Executive Board is currently working on a regionalized schedule for games. There will be no state tournament, however, there is an option to run a local tournament. What I do know for sure is that the PVIAC and our lo-cal school districts are working to make the best and safest season possible for all our PVIAC athletes. We just ask that you have a little patience for us, we will update our players and families once we finalize things.”

All attendees at the ceremony partook in a one-minute moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11.

of exercise that involves a machine with moving parts, my training for hiking is hiking. I also do sit-ups and pushups ev-ery morning, in addition to calf and ankle strengthening exercises.

In addition to exercise, I’ve discov-ered that stretching, both before and af-ter the hike, helps to minimize the risk of injury. While I used to be lazy about it, I’ve learned the hard way that five to ten minutes of stretching before and after a hike goes a long way in preventing the injuries that can keep me off the trail for weeks.

My final recommendation is equip-ment-related. I highly recommend using trekking poles or, if you’re willing to let

others know what decade you were born in... a hiking stick. When I first began hiking, I carried a wooden staff, like Mo-ses. (Yes, I AM that old.) Ten years ago, Tom found a large branch in the woods, removed the bark and sanded it smooth. He drilled a hole through the top sec-tion and added a leather wrist strap. He hand-engraved the stick with the words, “May you always walk in peace,” and he gave it to me for my birthday. What a guy!

Although I’ve since graduated to Leki collapsible carbon trekking poles with cork hand grips, I miss the primitive feel of my heavy wooden hiking stick. When I hiked with that staff, I felt like a sojourner in the days of old. There was something immensely soothing about

listening to the dull thud of the wooden staff as it struck the rock-strewn paths. That harmonious sound has been re-placed by the sound of the metallic clink of carbide tip trekking poles.

Whether you choose a trekking pole or a hiking stick, the benefits are nu-merous. They provide both immediate assistance in close-call situations, as well as long-term prevention of joint re-lated injuries, both of which will extend your ability to remain active for years to come. On steep downhills, trekking poles control your descent, reducing the impact of gravity on your hips, knees, ankles and feet. When you use poles, your shoulder muscles will absorb some of the force that is normally absorbed by all of the joints in your lower body.

Poles also act as anchor points to help you with balance, especially on difficult terrain such as wet bog bridges, rock or root strewn trails, and stream crossings. Those two extra points of contact have saved me from catastrophe on many oc-casions.

So, there you have it: my recommen-dations on how to minimize hiking relat-ed injuries. I hope that by next month, I’ll to be able to share the details of our next backpacking trip. Yes, we are in the process of planning our next one! I just need to ensure that in the meantime, I don’t throw my back out again while, of all things, cleaning our bathroom. Maybe I should practice what I preach and take up yoga.

Peace and hike on, friends!

Elizabeth Conclaves, who at-tended the event with her grand-

son, Greyson Walker, were very happy to attend the event.

“He really can’t play as he used to, but at least he gets to see children again after being cooped up in the house,” said Conclaves. “Just him looking at other children is a big deal and getting out and not being cooped up.”

Event attendee Stephanie Ri-vas shared similar sentiments.

“I like how it is spaced out,” said Rivas. “It allows us ample opportunity to be away from people, but still be near them. Plus, summer is ending, winter will be here soon, and we’ll be confined indoors, so this allows us to be outside and enjoy na-ture while we have the opportu-nity to.”

Hubbard children’s librari-an July Siebecker expressed a great amount of joy at the suc-cessful turnout and said she was “starved” to see her young pa-trons.

“I love them, and I missed them,” said Siebecker. “I’ve been able to see some of them through virtual programming, but just to see their actual faces makes me want to cry.” She also thanked the Ludlow’ Police De-partment, Department of Public Works and Recreation Depart-ment for their help in putting the

story-walk together.At the very end of the walk,

attendees had the chance to visit the temporary circulation desk, where children’s department as-sistant Olivia Chartrand helped sort through the menu cards of books available to be checked out.

“We really want people to come back to the library and start checking out books again,”

said Siebecker. “The library is open to the public; they can come in for 30-minute appoint-ments.”

Student-athletes set to begin practices this FridayBy Gregory A. Scibelli

[email protected]

REGION – The week many area athletes have been wait-ing for has come. After six long months of no interscholastic sports, high school fall teams will be able to “take the field” starting this Friday, Sept. 18.

After months of virtual meetings, postponement after postponement from the spring season, and a month-long delay to the fall season, high school players will finally get to start working toward a modified sea-son.

There will be at least two weeks of practices for most teams before games are sched-

uled to begin. According to the Massachusetts Interscholas-tic Athletic Association plan, games can begin playing on Oct. 1, about a month past when games normally begin. Games typically start the day after La-bor Day, which is when most students go back to school.

Student-athletes will be un-der strict guidelines as they nav-igate the murky waters of being able to return to action.

Agawam High School Ath-letic Director David Stratton serves on both the Sports Med-icine Subcommittee for the MIAA’s Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors for the Pioneer Valley Interscholastic Athletic Association, the gov-

erning body of most sports and the schools in the Western Mas-sachusetts region.

Stratton said there will be a clear focus on keeping students safe. He said the most important thing to the area schools is en-suring athletes are able to get on the field and play games without setbacks.

“We just want to be able to play and not get shut down,” said Stratton.

While players are set to take the field this Friday, they will do so without schedules finalized.

Stratton said this is because the PVIAC is still waiting for all schools to complete votes on whether they will be participat-ing.

Among the schools the PVI-AC is waiting on are Chicopee (and Chicopee Comprehensive), Pathfinder Regional, and a po-tential re-vote in Southwick.

Chicopee’s school commit-tee was tentatively scheduled to vote on Sept. 16. It is not known when the other votes were supposed to take place. Southwick’s school commit-tee had originally voted no to the Fall 1 season and wanted to postpone all sports to Fall 2. But a massive demonstration by the student population is likely leading to a re-vote this week. Southwick is the only school in the Pioneer Valley to have not-ed to do no sports during the first fall season. Because the

rest of the surrounding schools are participating, Southwick students argued they would have no one to play during the Fall 2 season, when foot-ball is scheduled to take place. The Fall 2 season is supposed to take place in late February through April, presumably after restrictions from the pandemic would ease up.

Stratton said he hoped to see schedules out by the end of the week once the votes are com-pleted.

Stratton said schedules will likely be around 10 or 12 games for most teams. The MIAA is not sponsoring any playoffs, but Stratton said the PVIAC is not ruling it out.

By Gregory A. [email protected]

The Massachusetts In-terscholastic Athletic Asso-ciation and the several state government agencies have finally come to agreements and there will be a “fall sea-son.”

While there are many who are unhappy with the significantly modified rules for soccer and field hockey, you can guarantee the ath-letes who will take the field at the end of this week will be grateful to do so.

Granted, soccer will change significantly. No walls to block close-range direct kicks, no corner kicks to headers for goals. The game will be different.

But after six months of almost “lockdown” condi-tions, the athletes who will participate in these modified games will be able to take advantage of the benefits of-fered by playing interscho-lastic sports.

First, they will get to work on teamwork and great communication skills. Those will be important now more than ever as the players get used to these temporary rules. These are values and skills that are taught no mat-ter what, but most players have gone without this rep-etition for six months. Soc-cer players, specifically, also missed out on a summer sea-son that is always so valu-able to in preparing for the very competitive fall season.

Second, many of the stu-dent athletes who will be seniors this year will not have to suffer the same un-fortunate fate as the Class of 2020’s spring athletes. Those student-athletes lost out on their entire final seasons in

baseball, softball, lacrosse, tennis, track, and boys vol-leyball. Additionally, these seniors will be making deci-sions about where they want to go to college and have this one opportunity be scouted for these sports. The college recruitment process is also pretty important to many skilled juniors.

And third, everyone’s mental health will bene-fit from the return to high school sports. More than any other competitive sports league, even professionals, are the enjoyment for par-ents of watching their chil-dren compete at the highest level, varsity. When that was taken away from ath-letes, coaches, and parents, it was a very tough time. Instead of practicing daily, students were shuttered to their homes. They were un-able to see friends, work out, and improve their skills. The extended closure of most public places further exac-erbated those restrictions. Now that high school sports are returning, it will great improve that morale among students. An opportunity to play, compete, and ulti-mately, have fun. Which is something most high school athletes have not had since the state basketball playoffs were abruptly shut down on March 10.

Hopefully everyone will do their part, wearing masks, socially distancing, and making every effort to obey modified rules so noth-ing will be shut down as we continue the elusive wait for a vaccine and a return to nor-malcy.

In the meantime, good luck to the Fall 1 athletes on this important step back to normalcy.

No playoffs, but fall season of great importance in many ways

Local driver Cormier wins mini-stock race

By Gary Dutton

WINCHESTER, N.H. – Todd Patnode (Swanzey, NH) made a late-race pass to earn his third NHSTRA Modified feature of the year Saturday (September 12) at

The high-banked speedplant completed its 13th event of the season Saturday, and when all was said and done, one driver had taken her first victory lap of the year, Aaron Fellows (Croy-don, NH) had stormed to his track-high eleventh feature win, and the sizzling Curtis twins, Jaret and Chase, were again tied atop the Street Stock title race.

The Six Shooter division made its maiden Monadnock run Saturday, with south-ern-staters Brandon Mail-hot (Epping, NH) and Adam Knowles first and second under the flags, and Granite State Mini Cup ace Skeeter Beerce was dominant in both his heat and feature races.

Kevin Pittsinger and Trev-or Bleau led the Mod Squad to the green in the night’s 40-lap main event, with Bleau – up in

smoke a week earlier – jump-ing all over the opening lead. Scott MacMichael and Cameron Houle chased Bleau to the front, but Patnode, from row four, was on the move early.

Patnode got up for third on lap ten, took second on the 25th circuit, and had soon reeled Bleau in. And, while almost ev-eryone’s eyes were glued on the front pair, rookie Cory Plummer – from row six – was having a career night just behind them.

Using the inside groove, Pat-node inched ahead as lap 34 was

completed. Bleau stayed glued to his bumper the final six laps, matching his season-best fin-ish of opening night in second. Plummer’s huge run netted him third, Ben Byrne came home fourth, and track points leader – third in national points too – Brian Robie was fifth.

Jaret Curtis (Rutland, NH) took the lead from Tim Wenzel on lap 13 of the Street Stock

Dakin Humane Society receives Rachael Ray Save Them All COVID-19 relief grant

SPRINGFIELD – Dakin Hu-mane Society announced it has received a Rachael Ray Save Them All COVID-19 Relief Grant from Best Friends Ani-mal Society to ensure that its Pet Food Aid Program continues to help pets living in western and central Massachusetts, as well as northern Connecticut.

“This grant allows us to continue our lifesaving work by supporting the Pet Food Aid Program, which is central to our organization’s mission as we serve our community” said Car-mine DiCenso, executive direc-tor at Dakin. “In this uncertain time, people are experiencing financial hardship and food in-security in feeding their cats and dogs. We want to be sure that pets can be fed, and people and their pets stay together. We are grateful to our community for their support of this program, and appreciate the help provided

by Best Friends Animal Society for our Pet Food Aid Program.”

Dakin Humane Society is an active partner in the Best Friends Network, which offers resources and support to fellow shelters, rescue groups, and ani-mal welfare organizations across the country. “When you choose to foster or adopt your next pet, you are becoming part of the solution right here in our com-munity,” said DiCenso. “And community is more important than ever right now.”

The Rachael Ray Save Them All COVID-19 Relief Program, administered by Best Friends and funded by The Ra-chael Ray Foundation, provides COVID-19 relief grants to shel-ters and rescue groups across the country. The Rachael Ray Foundation helps animals in need and is funded by a portion of proceeds from each sale of Rachael’s pet food, Nutrish.

MassDOT: Public information meeting on statewide exit renumbering project

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass-DOT) is announcing an upcoming virtual Public Information Meet-ing for MassDOT’s Statewide Exit Renumbering Project on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 6:30 p.m., to 7:30 p.m. This project is converting all exist-ing exit numbers on freeways to a milepost-based numbering system, per Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements.

The public meeting will cover in-formation about the project, the con-struction schedule, and the project team will be there to answer ques-tions. Registration is available online.

Construction is scheduled to be-gin on this project in mid-October of this year and is anticipated to end in the Summer of 2021. This is a statewide project; however, this pub-lic meeting will be focused on the scope and schedule of the following corridors:

• State Route 3• State Route 24• State Route 25• State Route 128• State Route 140• U.S. Route 3• U.S. Route 6• Interstate 93• Interstate 95• Interstate 195• Interstate 295Additional virtual public meetings

will be scheduled throughout the fall to cover the rest of the impacted corri-dors. Project updates and corridor-spe-cific construction schedules will be posted regularly on the project’s web-site. To learn more about the project, sign up for updates, and ask the proj-ect team questions, visit www.new-massexits.com.

feature and never looked back. Chris Buffone used a rub to take second on lap 17 but could advance no further, earning runner-up honors with Chase Curtis glued to his bumper in third. It was Jaret Curtis’ third win of the season.

Aaron Fellows passed Jus-tin Littlewood for the lead on lap nine of the Late Model Sportsman feature, shrugged off a late-race tap from run-ner-up Adam Gray, and stormed off to his eleventh win, against one runner-up fin-ish, this season. Gray was sec-ond, and Robert Hagar third

Kevin Cormier (Agawam, Ma) took the lead from Kevin Russell on lap 14 of the Mini Stock main event, then holding strong to earn his second 2020 victory lap. Clayton finished his impressive night’s work in second, with veteran hot shoe Pat Houle coming from row six to post his season-best fin-ish in third.

Top points man Gordon Farnum was fourth in Satur-day’s Minis, and now leads the championship points chase by 24 markers over Granby, Mass. hot shoe Nathan Wenzel.

Jason Leray set a fast pace the first six laps of the Pure Stock feature but bobbled on a restart and was quickly shuffled backward. Points leader Mike Douglas took charge on lap nine but was soon gobbled up by Erin Aik-en (Claremont, NH), who then socially distanced herself from the field to score her first win this season, accomplishing the feat aboard the same car her husband, Dave, had driven to victory twice earlier in the season.

Brandon Mailhot start-ed up front and led all the way to win the first-ever Six Shooter feature on the high banks. Adam Knowles was second, and Claremont racer Paul Col-burn strong in third.

With only two weeks remaining in the 2020 racing season, fans will have another opportuni-ty to enjoy an early-fall night of exciting outdoor entertainment when Mo-nadnock Speedway hosts a full card of oval track racing this Saturday, Sep-tember 19, on the storied quarter-mile.

AGAWAM – For a limited time, Cooper’s Gifts Apparel Home of Agawam is accepting donations of professional attire for Dress for Success of West-ern Massachusetts.

Interview-appropriate wom-en’s clothing, shoes and acces-sories will be collected at Coo-pers through Sept. 30.

“We invite everyone to Fall-clean their closets and change a life,” said Kate Gourde, own-er of Cooper’s Gifts Apparel Home.

Donations must be like-new, clean and on hangers. All professional attire is welcome, but DFS has expressed that their greatest current needs are for petite and plus sizes, like-new shoes, especially size 8 and up and purses. No casual clothing, please.

“Just ask yourself ‘Would I wear this to an interview?’ If the answer is ‘yes,’ Dress for Success can put it to good use,” Gourde said.

The mission of Dress for Success (DFS) is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, profes-sional attire and development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. They provide each client with professional attire to secure employment, but they are about much more than simply a new outfit. Be-sides physically equipping the client with apparel and acces-sories, their programs furnish her with a confidence that she carries forever and the knowl-edge that she can actively de-fine her life, the direction she takes and what success means to her.

“We have held clothing drives for DFS for years; our customers consider it a conve-nience. Especially for people West of the river, it’s easier to bring donations here than up to the DFS Boutique on Boston Road,” Gourde said. Items may

be brought to the shop anytime during the month of Septem-ber. Cooper’s is located at 161 Main St., Agawam, and is open Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-4pm, Thursdays 10am-6pm.

“This drive coincides with Dress for Success as our Sep-tember Round Up charity; so it’s the perfect time to spread the word of their mission and really help them out,” Gourde said. Each month Gourde chooses a local charity to re-ceive the profits of the store’s Round Up program through which customers are invited to round up their purchase total to the next dollar amount. Gourde will then match 50% of the total collected. The program has donated nearly $25,000 to local organizations since its inception in 2014. More infor-mation on the Round Up pro-gram and how to nominate a charity, may be found on Coo-per’s website www.coopers-gifts.com/round-up/

Second Chance virtual vendor fair helps pets in need

Every fall, a group of vendors comes out to Cruise for Critters or the Halloween Barktacular to display their wares while support-ing Second Chance Animal Ser-vices’ mission to help pets in need. When the nonprofit was forced to cancel these fall fundraisers due to COVID-19 concerns, they de-cided to launch an online vendor fair which will not only benefit pets in need but will help pro-mote the dedicated group of ven-dors.

“2020 has been such a chal-lenging year for everyone. We were so disappointed that our fall events were cancelled,” said Lindsay Doray, Development Director at Second Chance. “We know it’s been a difficult year for our vendors too, so we created a virtual vendor fair to continue our long-standing tradition of mutual support. We are grateful to Southbridge Credit Union for their generosity in sponsoring the online vendor fair.”

Doray noted that new vendors are being added daily and hopes animal lovers will take a moment to explore the vendors on the event page of the Second Chance website, do a little shopping and thank them for their support.

Second Chance remains ded-icated to pets, despite over 100 event cancellations and a drop in donations the organization is fac-ing this year.

The virtual vendor fair can be found at www.secondchance-animals.org/virtual-vendor-fair/. Vendors interested in supporting Second Chance can email [email protected] for more information on join-ing the virtual vendor fair.
